Chapter 245 Chapter 245
Chapter 245
Ever since the boss, no, it was Admiral Aaron who confessed his identity to them that day, all the leadership team headed by Bob left the meeting room with a dazed look on their faces.
This is consistent with the expression that these planets should have after receiving a declaration of war.
In the following few days, although their job was to appease the masses, as soon as they had some free time, they would involuntarily have a dazed look on their faces, which made others feel extremely strange.
Bob sat in his seat in a trance. He was in the logistics department and was originally in charge of the commercial department, but because of the promotional brochure, the commercial department naturally did not have much business.
But even though the boss has already told them how to save their lives, they still need to prepare their logistics, so that they won’t be unable to withstand even the first wave of attacks, let alone peace talks.
Bob was fine during the meeting, but once other people started speaking, a dazed look appeared on his face.
Bob was so focused on the news that he ignored the strange looks others gave him.
Bob now completely understood why the boss had so much knowledge, why the boss got the seeds of the research institute from other countries? Why did the mastermind answer all the questions of the boss?
——It’s all because he was originally a general of the Holy Star Empire!
Although it is unknown why, after the boss was included in the wanted list, the Holy Star Empire did not revoke the boss's authority and allowed him to use his authority to obtain intelligence within the empire.
But the information at the beginning was enough to burn out Bob's CPU, and he couldn't even imagine how many people would be involved in the information at the end.
What's more, they are now at the mercy of others, and this matter has little to do with them. It is a great thing that the boss is willing to stand up and protect their agricultural planets.
Bob thought about ending the meeting in a trance and then went to their small meeting room.
The boss does not participate in this small meeting room. Generally, they are asked to hold a group meeting every day to summarize what they have done that day and then disband.
However, compared to the previous two days when everyone was like wandering souls, today is much better, and they have evolved from wandering souls to zombies.
While everyone was able to answer normally, Susan, who took two calls to come back to her senses, stood out.
Bob looked at Susan and felt that something was not right with her. Susan was not the kind of person who would be in a daze for several days because of the news.
"Ahem, Susan, what happened? I called you several times just now but you didn't come back to your senses."
Bob said doubtfully, and Susan seemed to be awakened by Bob's voice. She raised her head suddenly and looked at her colleagues who were looking at her with concerned eyes. After a long silence, she spoke slowly.
"After you left, I went back because I left something in the conference room. I heard the conversation between Admiral Aaron and another stranger."
Susan told all the news she heard outside the door, which immediately made her colleagues present fall into a trance like him.
Even though they knew that their boss was a saintly person, they really didn't expect that their boss could be so saintly.
They had only been with him for two years. Moreover, many of them were arrogant because the boss was so tough and easy to talk to. However, at that time, the boss had no temper at all and accepted everything and built these planets into what they are today bit by bit.
But now...
"Boss, are you planning to use his life to buy our safety?"
After a long while, Bob said in a bitter voice.
The other people present were also filled with sadness, and Sanyan was almost overwhelmed by guilt.
"...If my brothers and I train harder and our mechas are better, will the boss not have to think about sacrificing himself?"
He held his head in pain and muttered.
But Bob on the side cruelly broke his fantasy.
"It doesn't matter how good your equipment is. Our foundation is too shallow and we have only been here for two years. Even if we develop faster, we can't catch up with the development speed of the three major countries."
Bob pulled his hair and said, "Everything was doomed when the Federation discovered us and wanted to blame us."
The scene fell silent again.
After a long time, a lady in charge of the publicity department stood up and said.
"Everyone, don't be so pessimistic. Didn't the boss tell us that he is still useful now? Those high-ranking officials in the interstellar space are reluctant to let him die like this. Maybe we can wait for the boss to redeem himself and make meritorious contributions, then dig up his past deeds and start a public opinion war on the Internet to see if we can use public opinion to force those high-ranking officials to save the boss's life."
The lady from the Propaganda Department said very seriously that even though he knew the hope was slim, having such a path was better than having no path at all.
At least now everyone on the scene needs a road like this to maintain their spirits.
Otherwise, the family would really collapse after the boss was taken away.
"That's right!" Three Eyes said immediately, "We can dig up all of Boss's affairs and tell the people in the interstellar space. They are all willing to support the victims of the Ancient God Ruins. Boss, a tragic hero, will definitely gain a lot of support."
As he said this, Sanyan was about to fly out to find the boss to ask about his previous court trial, but at this time the Minister of Propaganda stopped him.
"Not now. We are now in the position of the boss. The three countries have formed an alliance and declared war on us. If we promote the boss at this time, wouldn't it be a clear statement that we are going against the three-nation alliance?"
The Propaganda Minister's words confused Sanyan at first. He nodded as if he understood, but he also understood that now was not a good time to look for the boss and he could only wait.
However, even if the Minister of Propaganda rejected Sanyan's proposal, with this carrot hanging, their work efficiency today more than doubled.
That is, when everyone is working, they will look towards their boss's office from time to time, and then sigh.
'Boss can be a little selfish sometimes,' they thought.
And in the direction they were looking, the boss they were thinking about was talking to the main brain.
The Holy Star Mastermind looked at Aaron, who had just ended a phone call with the person in front of him and was scolded but refused to change. He really didn't understand what this human was thinking.
The Holy Star Mastermind has been in the Holy Star Empire for so long and has met many people, but he has never seen anyone like Aaron.
Even though Aaron now looks a little problematic on the outside, his actions are more like a human being than some politicians.
This made the Holy Star Mastermind quite worried. This former admiral of the Holy Star Empire was not a stranger to him, but it was the first time that the Holy Star Mastermind felt quite a headache.
Since the admiral came into contact with Ethan and the mysterious man behind Ethan by chance, his overly idealistic character has been retained, although he has not turned evil.
These planets were able to be captured because the owners of the planets themselves were not human beings.
This man has the highest level of military power, but he uses it to farm the land, which is a real waste.
However, for the Holy Star Mastermind, he really didn't care about this before.
——Until the mutants broke out.
Judging from the current situation in the universe, even if the main brain only uses a 64G computing memory for calculations, it can be analyzed that the current universe cannot do without Aaron, who has such high martial arts value and the ability to knock out those mutants.
However, it tried earnestly to persuade Aaron in front of it to live well, but he shook his head and refused.
"...Sir, I know you really want me to survive, but I have so many agricultural businesses behind me. The crops on the planet are ripe. They need to be sold when they are harvested. This affects the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people."
Aaron said with a wry smile: "Besides, sir, this is the best way to protect both sides. Even if they lose me, as long as the system is preserved, they can always live in peace. After all, this planet is theirs."
As Aaron spoke, hope gradually appeared in his voice.
He smiled and said, "Besides, with Your Excellency watching over them, there is no need to worry about them being in trouble."
The Holy Star's main brain now wished it could grow two hands to shake Aaron awake. He simply wanted to break through his own rules and restrictions and say to Aaron that it didn't matter if all the people on these planets died, Aaron, you must stay alive, otherwise who will clean up the mess!
But unfortunately, his initial settings restricted him from saying such pessimistic words, and he just kept repeating the previous mechanical words.
Fortunately, Aaron was still quite good-tempered and said, "Sir, if you keep repeating the sutra like this, I will shut down your sound system - if there is no other choice, turning off the power is also a good option, isn't it, sir?"
The Holy Star's main brain then shut up, but looking at Aaron's expression he became more and more disappointed. Couldn't he be as tough with the Star Fleet as he was with him?
However, the Holy Star Mastermind also knew that Aaron's character had already been formed and it might be impossible to correct it. He could only watch Aaron prepare to die.
Little did he know that Aaron, who looked like a madwoman in his eyes, heard a wild laugh in his ears.
【Hahahahahahaha, host, I just looked at your subordinates over there, and they also seem to think you are a saint patient. Hahahahaha, host, saint, this is simply the funniest joke I have heard this year! Host, your disguise is simply amazing.】
777 really found it funny. He had never thought that his host would be related to the Virgin Mary.
Our Lady? Host?
What a hell of a joke.
[Aaron has this personality, and although he may seem a little saintly, he really won't die unless something unexpected happens.]
Gu Youxing looked at the military deployment in front of him and said slowly: [After all, most of the planets in the interstellar space have begun to fall. Even if the government finds a scapegoat, how can the loss be less than saving these planets? ]
[Aaron admitted his crime again. If he wanted to save the planet and atone for his sins, this would be the best outcome for them.]
777 said happily: [Unfortunately, an accident still happened——]
[Yeah, it’s such a pity~]
Gu Youxing was in a rare good mood and cooperated with 777, stretching out his voice.
[How come someone on the starship recognized that the mysterious boss who came out to help was actually the long-missing Admiral Aaron? ]
*
The fleet on the Holy Star side has been acting very mysterious recently. Even when their own government was scolded to their face by civilians online, they just kept silent and ignored those people.
This made the other two countries that sent troops together feel very strange.
Although accusing the government is also common in their country, there was not much reaction compared to scolding them in person during the troop dispatching ceremony. Isn't this a bit strange?
Moreover, the number of starships of the Holy Star Empire was one more than expected. Although it was not equipped with any weapons, it was still severely attacked by the other two countries.
Although the Holy Star Empire reacted a little this time, it was not much. In short, they just tried to smooth things over and still brought the starship on board.
However, the other two countries did not remain curious for too long. After all, the situation in the entire interstellar space was really ugly now.
The mutation range of the mutants is still expanding, which makes the old prime minister couldn't help but recall the situation of the parallel world he heard when exploring the ancient god ruins a few years ago.
——The situation of the parallel world across the way being conquered by mutants gave him nightmares for a long time.
And now this nightmare is likely to become a reality.
After all, whenever a major disaster occurs, no matter where or what era it is, there are always the powerful and wealthy who want to escape first.
Even if an entire planet is quarantined, these people will always come out and bring the seeds of terror to the next planet.
In fact, as long as the previous variants are dealt with, there is no need to worry about further infection.
But the previous Victims of the Ancient Gods' Ruins Act ultimately made them reap what they sowed, and now the entire galaxy is arguing about whether or not to kill these mutants.
The opposition forces can even compete with them - after all, considering political correctness and the fact that there may be people among these mutants who are known by ordinary people, these opponents only want to cure these mutants instead of forcibly slaughtering them.
We have to thank the previous mutant handling agency for the good start. Everyone knows that these mutants only need advanced treatment cabins and nutrient solution, and then rest well. After the ancient god energy in their bodies is exhausted, they can return to normal.
Although there are still sounds in the head from time to time, they are much lighter than those whose bodies have undergone abnormal changes.
——This was said by those so-called cured people in order to gain political benefits when the anti-discrimination bill was introduced.
Their appearance looks no different from normal people.
There was endless debate on the Internet about this matter, but not much attention was paid to their special military operation - most people just thought it was a normal deployment of troops, after all, there would occasionally be fights on the border.
Even if a small number of people discovered it, it would not affect the overall situation. After all, their voices were too weak - not to mention that most people were still focusing on whether or not to kill those mutants.
However, this had little to do with the fleet after a few days. After the fleet successfully withdrew from the center of the topic, they also had more important things to prepare for.
- For example, let Ye Ruian and Ethan see the horrific scenes of those mutants, and it would be best if they could write a paper.
As long as these two people endorse it, it will be much easier to deal with those mutants.
While the other two countries were busy with this, the Holy Star Empire, which no longer had Aaron, was also busy.
He was also quite mysterious, and was busy only on his own starship, which made the leaders of the other two countries frown.
However, when I asked Shengxing, I only got the reason of "it's for everyone's good".
After all, it is other countries' business, and they cannot force them to explain.
At this time, Marshal Tours missed the upright prince of the Holy Star Empire. He and his princess were rare normal people, much better than the personifications of the royal family that appeared this time.
Marshal Tours was thinking about this, and he casually checked the news and happened to see the Crown Prince and Crown Princess from Holy Star attending the banquet.
——Then his eyes froze on the Crown Princess’ face for an instant and did not move.
"Why does this Crown Princess look familiar?"
But before Tours could figure out what was going on, the day had finally arrived when it was time to carry out a special military operation against those poor planets.
Looking at the few tattered starships on the opposite side and the strong military force on their side, Marshal Tours, who was in the command position on his own starship, quietly covered his face.
He had never fought such a shameful battle in his life!
And his adjutant also had a rare blush on his face - out of shame.
"Just fire a few shots symbolically and then ask them to surrender. Otherwise, this is too much of a bully."
Marshal Tours thought.
*
Bob and his men, unaware that the other side was considering asking them to surrender, were looking at their boss in fear.
Even though they had been trained on starships, the appearance of so many huge starships in front of them still made their brains buzz for a moment.
Hundreds of huge starships were like giant beasts in the galaxy, slowly and inexorably approaching them. Each enemy ship was several times larger than theirs, and all of them exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
Look at their starships again, there are only ten of them, and some are as small as shuttle ships - these are even their best starships. At the beginning, Three-Eyes wished he could live on these starships.
And now...
The obsession with the starship slowly faded in the three-eyed man's eyes, and then turned into despair.
'Without the Admiral, we would have had to engage in close combat with these starships - with naval guns.'
Sanyan thought bitterly.
He looked up at his boss, and the complaints in his heart that his boss didn't care about him and was too saintly completely disappeared, leaving only gratitude and shame for his own thoughts.
——Faced with such a powerful army, their struggles are not even a side show for these people!
The other people present also figured this out, and looked at Aaron with gratitude and bitterness in their eyes.
The tall man standing over there gave them a soothing smile, and then became serious. After submitting the surrender documents, he applied for communication with the three kingdoms' main ships.
Soon all three countries agreed to communicate, but the communication between the Federation and the Orc Empire was quickly connected, but the communication with the Holy Star Empire was a little late.
But in just this moment, Marshal Harrison of the Federation and Marshal Tours of the Orcs looked at the face opposite them, which was covered with red marks but still extremely familiar, and shouted in unison.
"Aaron Noah?!"
The man looked at the two people's confused expressions, smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, did I scare you, old friends, by meeting you under such circumstances?"
"Almost/I thought you were next to that so-called God." They both answered at the same time.
The man smiled and said, "The experience of escaping from there is not very pleasant. Well, let's end this topic, gentlemen. I still have the population of several agricultural planets behind me who need to survive. I just sent the file to your starship, I think it should be in your hands."
Harrison and Marshal Tours were about to answer when the communication from the Holy Star Empire was connected.
An arrogant voice sounded.
"It seems that you, a wanted criminal, are having a great time chatting with our two marshals - but it's a pity that your happiness won't last long."
The man turned his head and saw a familiar voice appearing on the communication screen belonging to the Holy Star Empire.
“Eleven—!”
*
The man's eyes suddenly widened as he looked at the shackled Elivin standing next to the royal child who came over this time.
"To your adjutant and your subordinates, to be honest, they have lived quite well these years. It took me a lot of effort to bring these people from the Crown Prince's staff - but it's all worth it."
The royal child said arrogantly.
Harrison and Marshal Tours on the side frowned at the same time. Although they were not good people, they still disdained such despicable means.
In particular, they had the upper hand.
Bob and the others saw Aaron showing such intense emotional fluctuations for the first time - he was only angry for a short while when he killed the planet master!
"What do you want?"
The blond man spoke in a low voice, threatening like a wild animal.
"I just want you to make a choice between the two."
The royal descendant said as he flipped through the documents in his hand with confidence.
"The surrender documents you submitted look good, but they are not enough. No one will believe that you did this alone, Admiral."
He said with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Both Aaron and Elivin, who was standing next to the royal child, had a bad feeling.
"So, I have thoughtfully prepared the evidence for you. It depends on your choice."
The royal child said with a disgusting smile.
"Either you worked hard for two years and planned the mutant incident, or your former subordinates colluded with you and caused the mutant incident to happen."
"——Which statement you choose depends on your choice."
*
Marshal Harrison and Marshal Tours wanted to say something, but were stopped by the adjutants behind them.
Just now, this royal descendant has sent the plan of the Holy Star Empire to the top leaders of the Orcs and the Federation.
But now the higher-ups have given the order, requiring them to remain silent.
The probability of success of this matter is very high, and such a perfect scapegoat is also what the top management needs.
Compared with those mutated planets, the small amount of population sacrificed is really nothing.
but……
The two marshals looked at Ilevin struggling to speak, and the people on the poor planet opposite had begun to discuss in despair who would follow the boss to die.
This still makes them feel uncomfortable.
Although they have been through many battles, they are still human beings after all.
However, the royal children adapted well.
"As expected of a royal family member who has grown up accepting the concept that he is the only human being and everyone else is a servant."
After a long while, the blond man asked in a hoarse voice: "Aren't you afraid that those mutated planets will never be able to change back to normal?"
"What does the death of a terrorist like you have to do with us?"
The royal family member spread his hands innocently.
It's so cheap that it's outrageous.
"..." The two marshals looked at him speechlessly.
"Okay, Your Excellency Admiral, it's time to make a choice. There are still three minutes left."
The royal child said.
"150 seconds."
"100 seconds."
"50 seconds."
"30 seconds."
As the countdown sounded, the blond man remained silent for a long time, sweating profusely. It was not until the last thirty seconds that he let out a long sigh as if he had made a decision.
"He finally predicted it." The blond man said without any context.
The royal children only thought it was a strategy to delay time, but the two marshals had a bad feeling.
"You are right. Only absolute power can preserve everything. Kindness and persistence are worthless in front of them." The blond man murmured, then bent over in pain.
A strange arc slowly bulged out from his back, followed by a hissing sound—a pair of white feathered wings tore through the man's clothes and appeared behind the blond man.
The young man from the royal family suddenly felt restless. He rubbed his itchy body and said boldly, considering the distance between them: "Aaron Noah! You, you, you stay on your starship! If you dare to act rashly, I guarantee that you will not be able to protect either side!"
However, the only response he got was Aaron's slightly empty eyes after he stood up.
——And the necklace emitting red light on his chest.
He held the heel of the necklace with one hand and spoke in a strange tone, something that no one could understand.
"[God, have mercy on your Lamb...]"
Along with these strange words, all the red marks on Aaron's body opened instantly, and the densely packed blue eyes even on the wings appeared in front of everyone.
The next second, the lower body of the royal descendant, who originally only felt itchy, suddenly turned into a pile of tentacles.
“Aaaaaaah——!”
He screamed and tried to find his adjutant, but when he turned around he saw that his adjutant's head had turned into a fleshy shape.
He looked around.
——Everyone within sight, except Aaron’s adjutant.
They all turned into monsters!
